Together they offer a balanced mix of structured, deep-green foliage (Ficus) and broader, architectural leaves (Alocasia) for a calm, layered look. The baskets add a natural texture and help the plants sit neatly in living spaces without the need for an additional cover pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ficus ‘Melany’ has thick, leathery leaves with a slightly upright growth habit, making it a reliable choice if you want greenery that stays tidy and composed. Alocasia wentii brings contrast: long stems and shield-like leaves that can show a darker underside, giving the plant more depth from different angles. Both plants are delivered in grower pots and can be placed inside the decorative baskets; always ensure excess water can drain and is not left standing at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is ideal for both.

Ficus works well slightly back from a window; Alocasia appreciates being closer to bright, filtered light. For even growth, rotate the pots every few weeks and keep both plants out of drafty doorways.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet excess water drain fully after watering—this is especially important when using baskets as cover pots. Wipe Ficus leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and keep them looking clean. Feed lightly during the growing season (spring\/summer): Ficus about monthly, Alocasia every 2–4 weeks at a reduced dosage; pause or reduce feeding in winter. If Alocasia leaves droop, check moisture first—both overwatering and underwatering can cause stress.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plants (set of two) with decorative basket\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies \/ variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ficus elastica ‘Melany’ + Alocasia wentii\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ø21 cm and Ø19 cm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Igmar basket (decorative cover; plants arrive in nursery pots)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MEERgroothandel Planten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53040814391639,"sku":"7134","price":62.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/2bd65d1a-75b8-482d-9bbf-9053d9d48228_1200x1200_fill.png?v=1773782252","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/ficus-elastica-melany-o21cm-%e2%86%9585cm-alocasia-wentii-o19cm-%e2%86%9560cm-mand-igmar","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
